Halibut is from the flatfish family much like flounder. Halibuts are the largest of the flatfish family and can grow up to 700 pounds. The belly, or underside, of a halibut is white while the upward half is a darker color. Halibuts dwell near the bottom of the water and have been known to feed on a variety of other fish. The meat of the halibut is dense in texture and very tasty.

Halibuts are rich in vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. They are also high in protein while low fat.
